in /usr/share/apps/kthememanager you can only remove themes that you have in your \
local profile (~/.kde/share/apps/kthememanager) (or is kde installed user-writable?) \
What should probably occur is that the remove button be greyed out for system themes \
that you don't own - But that wasn't the problem you reported.
